After only 3 years and less than 17,000 miles of driving, the soul red crystal metallic paint is chipping in many spots on the front of the body. There are at least 100 small chips on the hood, bumper, and front fenders. All of this occurred under normal driving conditions.
After less than a year of leasing this vehicle, an abundance of rock chips have shown up, more than any other car I've leased. This paint seems extremely susceptible to foreign objects. (this would be the soul red color they use. ) items that shouldn't cause a scratch do, and road debris causes chips that shouldn't far too much.
